Secondly, the printing device can be much larger than a in memory texture/image buffer. This problem can only(?) be avoided by applying some tiling/pattern mechanism. An additional reason that the win32 memory printing context was formely used is that it allows to easily render GDI graphics into the very same context. This, however, is not used by my code.
